I simply look at worry as fear for the future based on experience in the past. Neither of these things are in the present, so I simply let it go.

Of course it's not always easy to just let it go. We often justify to ourselves why we have the worry, but then my own wisdom/knowledge (call it what you will) tells me that anything we have to justify to ourselves is simply not the truth. Again, recognising that the justification is not the truth, allows us to see more clearly that the worry 'belongs' to something else i.e. the fears of something from the past. If we can recognise what those things are we can then start to deal with them appropriately.

I think this is similar to what you are saying about writing it down, putting it in perspective. When you write it down, it makes you rationalize the reasons behind it, and realisation then arises as to what the true causes of it are. Of course, it is still up to us to determine how we deal with it or whether we choose to hold onto that worry. And then, like you say, considering possible solutions allows us to realise that we don't have to hold onto the worry and we can do something about it.

Thanks for reminding about Creative Flow, I'll find that on my MP3 player and play that now whilst at work. Every little helps.

We did an exercise once in High School where the teacher told us to write up something we are worried about at this moment in our life. After we were done writing it down, we folded the paper and stapled it. She kept it locked up in private, and if we ever wanted to go back and read it we could.

If I went back now to read it, I'd probably laugh at it because it's so silly. As a matter of fact, I don't even fully remember what it was at this point in my life

Due to growing up in a household where the only parent was tense and depressive, I have managed to create for myself a life where I subconsciously created situations of tension and abuse. I have had some success with Holosync but it is far too expensive , even if you consider an option of medication and counselling -both of which I've tried. I will try the Meditation CDs but feel like using the entrainment a little more first. My energy levels have been through the floor and I nap each afternoon just to cope .Workwise I have been doing a cleaning job of an evening,taking longer and longer to get things done and would be unemployable if I couldn't create a more reasonable timesheet .(the boss knows why).

Hi there! People would always say that I am happy go lucky person, I don't worry at all, but I am sure they are wrong. Of course I am a normal individual, I also worry about anything. About Financial, emotional and physical issues. The only difference I have is that once I worry, I take immediate action. I study the reason why I am being worried and as early as possible I take action to ease the worries I feel. And I can see and manifest that this works for me. I always smile and think positively.
